Partners of aphasie individuals knew them before they suffered a stroke and have ample opportunity to observe their everyday functional communication. Therefore, at first glance, partners seem to be potentially valid judges of disability assessment. However, the literature depicts the partner mainly as a person in need of support. Twenty-eight partners were asked to rate the verbal communicative abilities of aphasie individuals. The results clearly establish partners as accurate judges of verbal communicative disabilities. It is argued that assessment of a partner's knowledge about aphasie disabilities should be assessed by means of concise, condition-specific tools.

Spatial neglect has been shown to occur in 17-65% of patients after acute left-hemispheric stroke. One reason for this varying incidence values might be that left-hemispheric stroke is often accompanied by aphasia, which raises difficulties in assessing attention deficits with conventional neuropsychological tests entailing verbal instructions. Video-oculography during free visual exploration (FVE) requires only little understanding of simple non-verbal instruction and has been shown to be a sensitive and reliable tool to detect spatial neglect in patients with right-hemispheric stroke.
